Critical response
Mayank Shekhar of Hindustan Times gave the film three out of five, writing, "This one manages to for most of the while. A sense of fun is never lost. It’s the actors, no doubt, who make the ridiculous believable. Hence, you truly enjoy this ride for most of the part. Which is saying a lot."[2]
Conversely, Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express gave the film 1 out of 5, writing, "What we get is capable actors floundering,and a film that grows ever more incoherent and tedious as it lurches along among fellows pretending to be cops,bent policemen,mobsters hiding out in seedy hotel rooms,guns going rat-a-tat."[3]
